some more experimentation with the 100-400 + 1.4x ... does reasonably OK, I think 8)
That's an interesting image with the broken glass! Did you use any NR on this one Jr? What were your settings?

Thanks Krob78. Broken glass on walls is by far the most preferred method adopted in India for keeping trespassers - However, broken glass was not really on my mind when I was shooting this bird (a Great Coucal) who had been evading me for the past three days ;).

I processed this photo using LR. The image is cropped from the center of the frame. NR of 30 was applied to this image alongwith some clarity (20) and sharpness (40) adjustments.

I like #3 Tex. ISO high enough apparently to offer good detail to his underside. People don't often like Vulture images but I feel challenged sometimes to try and make them look good or to see the beauty in the beast! Thanks for posting!

Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) by alabang, on Flickr

The Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) is the most widespread species of swallow in the world.[2] It is a distinctive passerine bird with blue upperparts, a long, deeply forked tail and curved, pointed wings. It is found in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.[2] In Anglophone Europe it is just called the Swallow; in Northern Europe it is the only common species called a "swallow" rather than a "martin".
